-            <p>
-                Shop Workers are the people who do the hands-on work in your facility — sandblasters, coaters,
-                maskers, oven operators, and supervisors. Adding your workers to the system lets you assign them
-                to jobs and maintenance tasks, giving you a clear picture of who is working on what at any time.
-            </p>
-            <p>
-                Shop Workers are separate from system user accounts. A worker does not need to log into the
-                system — they are simply a record that can be assigned to work. If a worker also needs to log
-                in and update job statuses themselves, an Administrator can create a linked user account for
-                them with the <em>Shop Floor</em> role.
-            </p>
-            <p>
-                Find Shop Workers under <strong>Operations &rsaquo; Shop Workers</strong> in the sidebar.
